DrownedinSound.com - hi, you're reading us - is pleased to report that we've been nominated for a Shockwaves NME Award this year, in the category of Best Website. Well d'uh: we were hardly up for shortlisting in the Worst Dressed category.

The annual awards are to be held this year on March 1, at Hammersmith Palais. DiS.com is up against MySpace, Last.FM, YouTube and Pitchfork in the Best Website category. Vote for us? Cool! Do so by clicking HERE and following the instructions. A full list of categories and nominees is also available via the very same link. Wow!

In related awardy news, DiS.com (not the actualdis.com; that ain't this) is also shortlisted in the Best Music Website Category at the 2007 PLUG Awards. Voting closes on February 2, so if you've not yet voted DiS.com, but want to, do so now! Please? Danke!
